Best of 2015: Angels and Ghosts by Dave Gahan and Soulsavers

Angels and Ghosts is one of those albums that took me by surprise. I bought the album on a whim at my local record store because I was looking for some new music to listen to and being a fan of Dave Gahan, I was sold. It turned out to be a fantastic purchase. Unlike Depeche Mode and its use of synthesizers, Angels and Ghosts opts for more of an organic, blues, gospel, rock sound. I love that this collaboration with Soulsavers is not a Depeche Mode clone and sounds totally different from Dave's band. My favorite tracks: "All of This and Nothing", "Lately", and "The Last Time". Angels and Ghosts is without a doubt one of the best releases of 2015 at least to this music fanatic.
